Whew, I thought your reaction would be much worse!
Not all airborn fireworks are good! I was once up on a balconey, blissfully buzzed on some alcohol-laced fizzy delight, kicked back in a lawnchair, watching the lighting of fireworks, when one that was meant to spin on the ground, decided to take flight--flew right up and bounced off my knee, zipped right past my head, bounced off a window and landed who knows where. Oh dear, crossing my fingers we get outta that BBQ before they pull out the lighters.
I detest fireworks! If I am able to, I sit on my three-season porch and watch them from there, where I am safer!
The police here have already arrested a few people bringing illegal fireworks in already. Our police go to PA and follow drivers back and arrest them when they get into the jurisdiction. I'm not sure if I agree with the method, but I would rather not be assaulted by random fireworks either. Some people...*sigh*
The police here don't even care! Our neighbors are lighting theirs off in the back alley so noone can see them. Our driveway is off that alley, so I hope they don't burn our cars or garage down! I remember people lighting them off in the middle of the street and cars having to stop just to avoid running over them! One year, when I was living in a mobile home park, someone's house burned down and the man inside died all because a firework shot through his trailer! It was so sad!
People can be so ignorant!So, everyone please stay safe tonight, and still try to enjoy the evening! I'll be in bed by the time the major fireworks are displayed, as hubby will be going to work. Take care!
